adding keywords as it modifies the underlying language), or finding some way to
express that the class I am deriving from .NET class should be sealed. That
should get us there also, even though the code to do events would probably not
be as slick as it is in C#.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>You'd need to add an event
keyword, or some other marker, wouldn't you? Otherwise you don't know that
it should be an event rather than some other property.</FONT></DIV></DIV>

color=#800000 size=2>After playing with this for a bit, I think that at the
moment IronPython is not capable of what you can do below in C#. The
insurmountable (for now, I hope) obsctacle that I hit is that the events must be
sealed classes, inherited from an abstract MulticastDelegate. IronPython doesn't
know of this rule and for now doesn't generate sealed class and the IronPython
code that attempts to mimic the output of C# compiler throws exception "delegate
must be a sealed class".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#800000 size=2>I think that as we improve the 'static compiler' story, we
may need to support creating sealed classes. For now, the scenario below is
broken...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
